About me

My name is Leigh Hurley. I've been a seed saver since the 1970s, and dabble with breeding edible plants. I maintain both rare heirloom varieties from northern New England, and rare open-pollinated varieties that perform well in my cold climate garden (USDA zone 3/4). I've also been a yogi most of my life, and my work with plants is sasya yoga, part of my sadhana. My husband Phillip and I write books about esoteric yoga practice and alchemy, and small-scale renewable energy.
